Wisła
Language: Polish (Polski)
Available translation(s): ENG
Płynie Wisła płynie,
Po polskiej krainie,
A dopóki płynie,
Polska nie zaginie.
Zobaczyła Kraków,
Wnet go pokochała:
I w dowód miłości
W stęgą opasała.
Bo ten polski naród
Ten ma urok w sobie,
Kto go raz pokochał,
Nie zapomni w grobie.

The Vistula
Language: English  after the Polish (Polski)
It flows. The Vistula flows
Through Polish lands,
As long as it flows,
Poland will not perish.
[The river] saw Krakow,
And immediately fell in love:
And as proof of love
Wrapped it with her ribbon.
Since the Polish nation
Is so charming,
Whoever falls in love with it once,
Won't even forget it, in his grave.
